Rocky Mountain Cabin with Bohemian style, 3 bedrooms, Log furnishings

Experience a spectacular and one-of-a-kind cabin! This unique home will be the highlight of your stay in Colorado. Feel the energy that fills this incredible space, with every detail creatively and thoughtfully designed. The picturesque pine archway, raw quartz wall, handmade log furniture and hardwood floors make the space warm and inviting. A grand piano, guitars and paintings give you plenty to fill your senses. For artists, dreamers, musicians, romantics, writers, adventurers and explorers.

Enjoy your mountain stay in a beautiful and artistically-renovated cabin. The attention to detail in the style and custom build of this cabin is evident from the moment you enter the property. Experience true Rocky Mountain charm in a 1400 sq ft home that's cozy and romantic. This gorgeous cabin has been chosen as the location for a movie, commercial, wedding, and multiple honeymoons! It is currently a gallery displaying must-see paintings by a talented Coal Creek Canyon artist.

Enjoy the view while seated behind the grand piano or strumming one of the guitars, soaking in the fantastic acoustics of the room. A wood burning stove adds to the ambiance with plenty of firewood stacked alongside the house. (There is a central heater with thermostat in the home.) Open the windows to enjoy natural air conditioning provided by the cool and dry mountaintop breeze, with temperatures often much cooler than the lower elevation of Denver. The extensive front deck has a bench for quiet moments and wildlife watching, along with a propane grill for easy outdoor cooking. There is a trampoline available for even higher altitude, as well as an axe if you feel inclined to chop your own firewood. Access unlimited wifi, a rare treat in the mountains. Be entertained by the Smart TV with XBox, DVD player and plenty of DVDs. Many books and games are located on the shelves.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and baking, including a double oven with natural gas stove top, a toaster, microwave oven and professional strength blender. A French press, coffee grinder, and drip coffeemaker are all available. Cast iron and stone cookware throughout the kitchen. Electric and old-fashioned hot water kettles are provided. We supply local and organic coffee beans from the canyon's coffee shop. An assortment of teas, including local Celestial Seasonings from Boulder (my personal favorite!) and hot chocolate mix. Breakfast items include eggs, yogurt, granola, pancake mix, and frozen fruit for smoothies. Salt and pepper, butter and many condiments are provided.

The cabin has three cozy and clean bedrooms featuring locally handmade four-poster beds in the two largest rooms. Highest quality linens are used for all bedding. Comfortable mattresses, plush comforters with duvets, and two pillows per person will ensure that everyone sleeps deeply throughout the dark and quiet mountain nights. Dressers and plenty of hangers will give you a place to unpack your suitcase and truly make yourself at home. Blackout shades and extra blankets are in each bedroom. A fan and nightlight are also provided for your comfort.

Step into the bright and sparkling bathroom to prepare for your day, with plenty of natural lighting and amenities. Use the dimmer switch to soften the mood in the evenings. Relax under the rain shower or turn on both shower heads and experience a complete drenching. It's incredibly refreshing after a day exploring the mountains! Feet stay toasty warm with the in-floor heating as you dry off with plump, hotel quality towels. Toiletries, a first aid kit, and a hair dryer are located under the sink.

Sip your morning coffee from the front porch while savoring the dawn's light on Mt. Thorodin. Beautiful views of the Continental Divide enjoyed on the property and throughout the neighborhood. Clean mountain air, wildlife, and lots of character. Take a walk around the neighborhood and enjoy spectacular views of the Continental Divide stretching from James Peak to Longs Peak. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a mountain lion, bear, mule deer, elk, turkey, fox, bobcat, or moose crossing your path. Coal Creek Canyon is surrounded by wilderness ready to explore.

About Nicole Harkness

Having adventures and traveling are the passions that I pursue in life. I've dreamed of living in the mountains since I was a young girl, so I am excited to share my beautiful and cozy cabin with others who want to experience a taste of life at higher altitude. I spend as much time as possible outdoors with my husband rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, and exploring. Before settling in Colorado we traveled internationally, including a season at the South Pole in Antarctica.

Nicole Harkness purchased this Cabin in 2012

We loved our stay here! The cabin was very clean, unique and offered us everything we could want while away from home. The cabin is located only 30 mins from the ski resort Eldora we spent two days there and had a blast!! The owners were extremely welcoming and were available if we had any issues!

Great cabin to stay in - very kid friendly and has all the amenities. The wood fire burning stove kept the place extra toasty in the negative temperatures. Would definitely recommend this place!

Nicole and Chris were great hosts. They responded quickly to all my annoying questions :-) !

The cabin has everything you need and more. I know we will be back.

We felt welcomed and at home immediately upon walking in.

Perfect place to come back to after outdoor adventures and just relax and unwind.

Four family members and I spent one lovely evening here for a last-minute mini-reunion. We loved the space; they have done an amazing job on this little cabin! Nicole was a wonderful hostess and communication was excellent. We felt right at home; the fridge and pantry were well-stocked and the beds super-comfy! It’s too bad we only could stay one night. An added bonus: two litters of kittens on the property! I joked that had I known the were kittens, I would have booked a longer stay!

It’s far enough away from the city to feel like a real getaway, but not so far that it was a challenge to get to or find. I would totally go back.

Location

Coal Creek, CO, USA

Perfect location to easily access both city excitement and mountain adventures. Perched between Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests on a quiet dirt road that is well maintained by the county. Explore nearby Golden Gate Canyon State Park or Gross Dam Reservoir. Enjoy the scenic 16 mile drive to fabulous skiing at Eldora Resort. Wander through the fun and interesting mountain town of Nederland, only 15 miles away. World famous rock climbing in Eldorado Canyon State Park is located 20 miles away. Only 30 minutes to Boulder or Golden! Drive 27 miles and watch a concert at the renown Red Rocks Amphitheater. Unwind in the historic mountain casino towns of Black Hawk and Central City, only 45 minutes away. Take a gorgeous drive through Coal Creek Canyon and connect to the Scenic Peak to Peak Highway 119, full of phenomenal views around every bend. Estes Park, gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, is only 54 miles away. 33 miles to Denver and 48 miles to Denver International Airport. It's just far and high enough in the mountains to have a truly alpine feel to it, yet close enough to conduct business in the city when needed. At 8900' elevation, it's a breath of fresh air from busy living.

There are several restaurants in the canyon, as well as a coffee shop, mechanic, and liquor store. The gas station carries many grocery staples in case you forget to stock up on something.
